Are you up to the challenge?

36 Hours of Uwharrie is a “military themed” back-country endurance challenge. Two-person teams accumulate points by completing missions including precision off-road driving, vehicle recovery technique, canoeing, competitive marksmanship, competitive clay shooting. Our 2016 event pushed competitors to their physical and mental limits, those that finished felt a great sense of accomplishment. Check out our 36 HOUR FACEBOOK LINK to see more.

Teams must be self-sufficient as they navigate their vehicles to compete in events including Hi-Lift Jack Challenges, Extreme Degree Hill Climbs, Low Visibility Fording and Self-Recovery Winch Challenges, and much more. Teams must also complete a series of paddling and shooting objectives before teams are eligible to compete head to head in the “BFGoodrich Final Assault”. Winning teams walk away with high value prizes in addition to bragging rights. All teams that complete the event walk away with pride & respect. Are you driver enough?

I'm on a plane headed for NC in a few days where I'll assume my role as Camp Commandant again for 36 Hours of Uwharrie. I'm looking forward to raising the bar this year by ensuring the Enlisted push themselves to their full potential.

Joining me as Commandant this year will be our very own @Yuman Desert Rat (Ryan Schmidt). His decades of experience in the Marines will be a force multiplier for all as he knows more games than Milton Bradley.

In the Command Post, @TangoBlue (Tim Bleau) will be coordinating Operations and communicating with us and the teams in the field as they navigate the course.

Stay tuned here for "real time" photos from the event!
